The Pursuit of White Magic Philosophy with the use of Reason

[harmlesslarry]

Hi everyone

Im an initiate into Chaos Magick and Qabalah. Since youre playing DDO I thought you might wonder or notice that it comes from witchcraft and the occult. The occult is a massive undertaking by mankind to name and define the invisible realm and it is the birth of science and uses language and philosophy to validate how we perceive reality. Its also the key to religious truth and spirituality. The True Knowledge of the occult is the Law Do What Thou Wilt and though it appears simple enough it is a very complicated theory on freedom, the purpose of it, and the truth about Law and invention. Im leaving my latest work here, which is the philosophical ideal of a White Magus that believes that Love and Kindness are Mans social salvation. This is not the only Truth, but if you believe in peace and Love and kindness and the great virtues that sustain these ideas, this philosophy is one to examine as you pursue meaning and result in your life. If you like what you read, I have left a trail of my examination of Chaos that led me to this philosophy on my facebook page under the name Mark Christ Campbell. Thanks for reading, hope it enlightens you.

This is a sensual World, and all of Man must name their Good. The Good is defined by senses; our eyes that see, and our flesh that feels. These are the first senses that help us to know what we like. Why do we like something? Because it satisfies us. As babes, we find our first wants to be hunger, and so, they that provide us with satisfying this need become our first object of Desire. We learn to rely upon that individual; their appearance becomes something that we associate with Good, and this is the birth of our adult wants. The Philosophers stone is the stomach. Those things that cause us hunger provoke us into investigation of our thoughts and methods to bring satisfaction to our selves. That is why the first advance of Reason is personal selfish desiring. In this sense, we begin and mature as purely selfish creatures. The typical thought process of a Man in this stage is "I want what I want, because I want to survive".

As we begin to rely upon the first provider for our wants, we develop the sense of trust. We start to see a pattern of our needs being met by those that give us care. That is the foundation of trust: I can expect you to do a thing for me. These beings that provide for us comfort us with gentle touch, and so we learn to believe that those that provide for us should be gentle, and that those that are gentle we can trust. As they begin to use language, we associate our minds with the words that they use to define what they do for us, and one of those words is Love. Should all things go as planned, the child will learn to associate the word Love with the beings that nurtured it and provided for it, and the manner in which they did this. The problems that arise as the child matures is that its definition of Love no longer meets the expectation of soft, gentle, and providing actions. This failure is a crucial point in which the child begins to adapt to the language and methods employed by their surroundings, and from this perspective they will begin to accept or deny those that are beginning to demand behavior from them.

Because the child has learned that it wants, it will develop a reasoning that will bring it what it wants. If a child learns that it needs to appear vulnerable to gain the attention of its caregivers, it will employ the appearance of weakness to secure its desire. This will encourage the child to believe that the appearance of weakness is Good, even though it is using its strength to bring the desired result of satisfaction. This is one of the first acts of deception that Man learns to employ; drawing on sympathy. The child will utilize this method, and it will learn others. When we coddle a child and praise them for being charming, they will learn that flirtatious and innocent behavior brings them the attention and praise of our elders, and so they will master the act of charm, which is also a deceptive tactic, for this is no act of innocence, and when we lie to others that we are innocent, we lie also to ourselves, and delude ourselves that our actions are just.

As adults, we should be aware that what is required in life is a frank expression of truth, and charm is a tool that can disguise the truth. Should we want to reduce the effect of physical appearances from influencing our observation of Truth, we need to stop praising a child for being "cute". We also need to stop approving a child for displaying weakness or frailty, because in life, where Man must fight against natural forces and take on the events of tragedy and struggle, Man must be strong. Instead of tending to a child's demand that it is weak, we aught to be training the child to find its strength, and praising the ability to be strong. This is the first defense against the diseases that cause Man to falter in the pursuit of the success of working the land, and the ability to learn and process knowledge, and find the Will to defend property.

There will be times when weakness is legitimate, and in those times we need to be masters of how to manage the cause of the weakness with the understanding of the strength needed to combat it. We want strong children. We want strong citizens. We want people to be able to provide for themselves so as not to be a burden to others. We need our people to be able to be responsible for their share, for we are all part of the same structure of society.

One of the greatest lessons a parent can teach in the transition of being the gentle caregiver to the stern trainer is that a child will be expected to earn their way in life. Teaching strength in the face of the difficult physical and intellectual challenges of mastery over our environment is critical. This should be a constant and daily effort on the part of the teacher and parent, more important even than the actual information we are handing to our children. We must encourage a fortitude with which the child will employ our knowledge. We must also teach to do this with grace; for all children should be accustomed to the gentle provider and view one another with the eyes of Love. Without preserving the gentle touch, Man will fall victim to aggressive and deceptive tactics which will promote excessive and abusive behavior to acquire an unhealthy amount of want over the actual level of need. This is the path to the Chaos of misunderstanding and violence. When Man employs violence for any reason, they teach the victim of the violence and anger that this is a legitimate method of acquiring what one desires, and should Man truly be wanting to rid the world of these things, they must find a way to teach and to acquire without employing such tactics. Man is a malleable being, and though we begin with the same origin, conditioning creates the outcome of the observation and behavior. Man will agree with the morality that forms around the devices employed, and should we not all agree on the same Good, then Man will find that there will be no absolute morality, and when there is no moral truth, there will be no righteousness, and when righteousness falls, there will be no justice, and when there is no justice, then Chaos prevails and we return to the days when the strong will dominate the weak, and all the human rights that we desire will fall to the Will of those with the power to secure the wealth.

As self motivated creatures living in a subjective reality, we begin to learn what it takes to be satisfied. All Man need to learn how to manage this for themselves, for this is the cornerstone of existence. Man needs to feel satisfied; the philosophers stone demands it. Until Man can find contentment, Man will hunger and seek, and know no peace, and when a Man is not at peace, Man will provoke the peaceful with disruption so as to secure the wants of the Man. This is the first advance of Reason. When a Man has found satisfaction; when the established system of society has secured their position of comfort, then Man will be able to appraise their surroundings and realize that they have benefited from the structure. Teaching that the structure that a Man has benefited from was provided by co-operation is crucial to get Man to recognize the second advance of Reason, which is; now that the Man has been satisfied, Man can see that other Man also need to be satisfied. This is when the transition from self driven desire moves onto the altruistic belief in contributing to the efforts of the structure. Man must be able to recognize that without the aid of other Man, they would not survive. From this knowledge we develop the methods of teaching one another how to interact and contribute, and it is this awareness that becomes another priority for instructing our children on what it takes to earn. When a Man is able to provide for themselves, and

recognize that co-operation is necessary to become satisfied, then Man will be able to contribute. This is the ideal from which we should be developing our governmental policies and laws. This is the result of Reason, and it is our best method of employing logic in language, and our ability to be free thinking beings that are aware of more than our immediate needs. It is the best choice of what to do with Free Will. Compromising this will only result in the degradation of Truth and Good, and to expect justice from a system that is unable to provide stable Reason and Logic is naive. This should be the call of every Man that desires Peace, and Love, and Truth, and Order.

Magick is the meaning of words. Knowing what they mean and how they work in unison to create reality in perception and experience. Further in, it is the idea that we can manufacture this reality with objects and concoctions, and in a way, this is true- for every story and action creates reality. This world is fire and air, followed by water and earth. The primary element at its source is active, destructive and illuminating. As we become solids, we enter the emotional realm of the senses as influenced by the Magick of perception which creates our sense of Order or Chaos. The Order that we seek comes from the effort involved at sustaining life and acquiring needs and desires. In this effort we strive for fairness for our labor and establish a system of effort and reward.There is another measure for fairness and it is emotional, but this is not the measure of the material world. At its center is generosity but without earning, there will be no charity, and so, in Love, we must sacrifice the pure Good of the heart for the real Truth of the body and the rest of its needs. In this act we establish more rules of fairness, but these rules are difficult because the True nature of the Good is an absolute, and in Love, there will be no perfect trade. The same can be said about labor.

Do What Thou Wilt is the Law of Fire, and as Fire is the first and most important element, it is the Law of the Universe. Love is the Law is the Water, emotional, lunar side of life, and its center is Generosity. The Earth is filled with its own Laws based on the method of exchanging our actions and words as we pursue our needs and desires, and those laws are malleable depending on resources and locations.

If you can avoid the extremely difficult methods and challenges of learning philosophical knowledge from the practice of Magick, the occult holds a great wealth of True knowledge, because it is paganism that formed this world. You will also, if smart enough, discover the secret keys to science.

Good is that which supports and Evil is that which hinders. When you can identify the intention of the Man in front of you, you can examine if their methods and desired outcome are just.

Let it be known that when the Ledger of Human action has been opened, and the Souls of Man are measured, that the affairs of Man should be judged without prejudice for the resulting harm, because fundamentally I am at the Mercy of ignorant teachers.

I see a lot of immorality in the World. It is immoral to say you have Truth when you are denying or withholding elements of it. It is immoral to claim an absolute when you have not even bothered to consider alternatives. It is immoral to sell a person the right to do nothing when you know that doing the things that are Good provide you for a life that is satisfactory. This is especially immoral because to sit and do nothing when you are capable of contributing is unjust to the ones that are forced to do what you could do as well. It is immoral because we have lost the definition of Good on a personal level when they themselves would say it is not Good, and it is immoral because we know that this is unfair. It is immoral to proclaim yourself or present yourself as a Master when you are only a student of one portion of the Truth. You are not unlike the rest of us- none of us are- and to pose as someone of authority- especially of the Divine nature, is immoral.

The rich say "Oh those poor, they dont know what they have" and the poor say "Oh those rich, why do they not share?" no one is content and no one can admit that this might be the only life we will ever "know", though I suspect it is not the only one we experience. The truth of this idea should be a command "Man, if you only get one life, can you make it Good?"

The Witches Rule is the key to invention, but invention does not come from simply doing thy will, that is the act of random action with random result and without understanding, it is pure Chaos. The key leads to the door of Chaos, and within it lies the potential of all things. What you bring back from the Abyss depends on what you went in there for, and what you know of what it is you sought- for it is never complete. You have to own a vision to earn the use of the key.

It is impossible to create a place without want unless you satisfy every potential desire. The meaning of Life is to secure your Power.

The answer lies in fair reward for effort

If you know Love, then you know Truth, and the only Truth to pursue is to come closer to the Truth of Love. This world is against you, oh Man, and you are against yourself, and your neighbor. To deny this will bring you suffering, and to accept it will make you Evil.

[Saekee]

I will not even try to unpack the OP. Here is a shot.

Good is that which supports and Evil is that which hinders. When you can identify the intention of the Man in front of you, you can examine if their methods and desired outcome are just.

Good is that which supports...what? Your little ego? A psychotic? Sometimes, the best thing for an individual is to hinder them from doing harm, either to themselves or others.
"...the intention" you bias intention as ethical judgment and then write "methods and desired outcome" which is about process and then outcome. A mess of contradictions.

If you know Love, then you know Truth, and the only Truth to pursue is to come closer to the Truth of Love. This world is against you, oh Man, and you are against yourself, and your neighbor. To deny this will bring you suffering, and to accept it will make you Evil.

These three sentences contradict each other. You claim something about Truth, then state how the world is against you. Love does not know of a world against it. I won't even bother with the last statement.


This whole thread is not a dialogue but a monologue. I invite you to take a course in philosophy and perhaps begin a dialogistic approach to thinking in which you ask Socratic questions out of a humble search for knowledge and truth instead of plopping statements on a video game forum.

You are the one that needs humility.

Anyway next message:

Man is meant to live in a state of uncertainty so that Man can learn to appreciate the gifts of Life, and the differences that make us all Human. This leads to gratitude, and willingness to listen, and a seeker of Truth. The uncertain mind is Gods design.

[harmlesslarry]

Only when everyone recognizes that we all have the right to speak will any of us begin to truly listen.
